I just found out some more info. I am actually still having this problem, however the extra files are created in my home directory whenever I create a launcher on the Gnome desktop. I just wiped my Ubuntu drive and did a full install of Gutsy, and even after all updates (there was only one) I am still having this problem.
To reproduce it, I rightclicked the desktop and chose to create a launcher. In both the name and command fields I put "test" and then I clicked okay. Then, the "file:/home/jeremy/Desktop" folders were automatically recreated in my home directory. I guess the reason I thought it was fixed is because I haven't created a launcher on my desktop in a while and I just discovered today that's when it happens. -- Double Home Directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153451 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
